Training plan for the PAK'nSAVE Whanganui 3 Bridges Marathon
Sunday, 6 December 2026 in Whanganui, New Zealand. That is 8 weeks away.
When a build would have to start
ALLUNGO plans a block of a length that suits the distance, then works backwards from race day. For this one:
Half — a 14-week build, 4 runs a week
Not enough room left for the full build.
Marathon — a 18-week build, 5 runs a week
Not enough room left for the full build.
Too close? The next one
The organiser runs this the first Sunday in December, which puts the 2027 race on Sunday, 5 December 2027. That date is not announced yet, so check it before planning to it — but a Marathon build for it would start the week of 26 July 2027.
On the day
Distances: Half, Marathon. Entries, course and timings are whanganuithreebridges.co.nz’s. They decide when entries open and close, and whether the race runs at all — ALLUNGO sells nothing here and takes nothing from them.
The date here is the one the organiser published, rechecked every 1 hour against the list. Confirm it on their site before you enter.
